Please excuse me for my obsession with money.
Having spent a fair amount of time sampling the joys of air travel, I don't think the benefits of a decent bag can be overstated enough - it's going to be on and off your shoulder a fair few times in a few hours, it gets jammed under seats and in overhead lockers and obviously has to fit everything you need and be easy to get stuff out of for security.
Not sure I'd spend £116, but I've got a Burton rucksack and a Troop messenger bag, both of which make the whole process much easier and more comfortable than the cheap stuff work gave me, like that bag linked to at Big Mug Enterprises.

Why don't you go and look at one and you decide.Please excuse me for my obsession with money.
I absolutely batter my bags at work and my Osprey has outlasted anything else I’ve owned and still looks in decent shape. Cheap bags are a false economy.
Besides, you can pick them up in sales for less than that as Osprey update regularly and reduce last seasons stock accordingly.

One update that I thought was odd is the padded laptop sleeve only has one zip so you can lock the zips together. There is a fabric tab that you can lock to the single zip.

You're allowed to store small bags under the seat in front, are you not? I've never had any bother.
The seat in front? Surely it goes under your own seat. The passenger in the foremost seat hasn’t got a seat in front and would have to use his own seat to stow away luggage, and so on all the way to the back of the plane.The passengers in the foremost seats have to stow their luggage in the overhead lockers as they’re going to be exit seats.

On the subject of aviation, why do my ears hurt to buggery on the
descent from 30 000ft but not on the climb to cruising altitude ?
Because on the ascent it is decreasing pressure and on the descent it is increasing pressure, and your ears are evidently more sensitive to the latter. descent from 30 000ft but not on the climb to cruising altitude ?

It might be that the way the climb profile is stepped, you are doing enough chewing/swallowing/yawning/whatever during that time to keep the inner ear pressure equalised enough that it is not causing you discomfort. Whereas perhaps the way the descent happens, you are doing larger drops in one go and the pressure differential your ears are experiencing is getting too great before you can equalise it.descent from 30 000ft but not on the climb to cruising altitude ?

As cabins are pressurised it shouldn't make much difference. I think my ears may 'pop' sometimes but i don't keep score. Perhaps you have an old or chronic eardrum injury?descent from 30 000ft but not on the climb to cruising altitude ?
